I have this happen all the time.   I mostly get it when I read a email message from a
particular mailing list I was on (Computers in Composition, ironically enough).  I have
since signed off that list and have had no more problems.  The solution is obviously that
NeXTmail interprets the beginning of some mail messages in a wonky way...or at least that
is what it seems to be to me.
